Burlesque is abroad again. Mr.. Ed
ward T.. Rice has returned 10 town with
his troup Of amply-revealed women,
and they are causing the usual amount
of perturbation, tribulation, and excite
ment among the contingent of unna-
turally young old men and preterna-
turaDy old young men to form the
main pillar and support Of such shows.
There is a substantial reason for the
success of burlesque everywhere. There
is no doubt that women are fond of
looking at other members Of their sex
whose charms are well displayed and
mans prediction in this respect dates
back to the protoplasmic era of fathom-
less ooze. l don't know exactly what
this means except with an article which
l read in an English magazine the
other day it is fresh in my mind. The
article explained with wealth OF rhe-
toric that man had originally sprung
from a monkey, that the monkey had
come by a system of revolution from the
oyster, which in turn had originated in
protoplasm, which in turn had been
evolved from oOze. 1t was the most
mastery and complete explanation
Of the origin of man that / have
ever encountered outside of Darwin,
but it left the reader breathless, bafiled,
and balkedat the tail end ofthe article by
failing to explain what the ooze sprang
from. The acute and discerning
reader probably imagines at this point
that l am going 10 insinuate that some
Of Mr.. Rice's chorus girls belong to the
era Of protoplasmic ooze. Not SO. 1t
is depression. Rice's chorus girls are
rs usual the prettiest ones on the stage
They cannot sing, but they are emf
nently pleasing to the eye.
The "Corsair" is very much like
"Eyangeline." II has the inevitable
Irishman and the old-time fat woman
and the usual number OF agile and
lively comedians. The book is rot.
Nobody expects Shaksperean verse in
q latter-day burlesque. The music is
catching and calculated to dispel gloom
and sorrow. The main charm OF the
"Corsair " lies in the sumptuous and
magnificent fashion Of its production.
Every thing about ii has been directed
to the sole object Of achieving a triumph
Of color and harmony in the stage pic

left the shop with the two sketches
in my hand, feeling somewhat puzzled.
On the whole, l thought it was worth
while to call on Lady Pinkerton, and
show her the drawing which the jew
.eller had made.
1 found her ladyship at breakfast in
her bOudOir, attended by her maid. In
few words | explained the object of
my visit, and then handed her the
jewellers sketch. asking her if she
recognized it. The lady took it with
the tips of her fingers, and looked at it
with supercilious air but could see
that, in spite of her aifectation of nom
chGiance, she was deeply interested in
what / had said.

as she laid the sheet of paper on the
table. "There is resemblance in
shape, but that is nothing. If the ear
rings were paste. as you say, they can
not be mine my diamonds were not
paste"
As Lady Pinkerion was speaking her
maid, Alice Wright, approached tho
table with cream-iug in her hand, and
as she did so she glanced at the draw
ing which lay directly under her eyes.
A look OF surprise came over the girls
face, and she seemed to be on the point
Of saying something. She turned away,
however, without speaking, and at sign
from her mistressquietly left theroo
drew the conclusion, as certainly as il
the girl had spoken, that, in her opin-
ion, the drawing made by the ieweller
nearly resembled, at least, one OF the
missing trinkets, and also suspected
that her mistress was DESTROYS that the
girl should keep her opinion TO herself.

superintendent Greggs' Plans for
Carrying Out the Recently En-
acted Law,

Hon. o. c. Gregg, the recently elected
superintendent of farmers institutes
for Minnesota, was in st. Paul yester-
day and gave GLOBE reporter brief
outline of the work he is proposing to do
in carrying out the provisions of the re-
Gently made law providing for the insti-
tuteS. Mr.. Gregg said he had arranged
to hold institutes at Luverne on May 23

Madelia, May so and 81, and at Farm
ington, June , and 3. AT each of these
places, as at other points where they
will be held, there seemed to be great
deal of enthusiasm among the farmers
toward making the most of them and he
was much pleased with the outlook.

THEY CAME WEST.

An Eloping Couple Exposed at
Fremont, Neb., and Forced to
Leave Town.
Special toxhe Globe.
JAMESTOWN, N. Y, May 9.-Some
time ago A. r. Kirkland, a leading tenor
singer of the Congregational church
choir, left the city suddenly, leaving an
invalid wife. The same day Mrs. Olive
G. Chase, the pretty and vivacious wife
of a leading manufacturer and promi-
nent citizen, also left town, taking with
her 5000 of her husbands money. For a
time their whereabouts were unknown.
To-day it was learned that they arrived
i'll Fremont, Neb., some weeks ago, and
passed as man and wife. They entered
society there and both sang in leading
church choir. Last week their
story became known and they
were compelled to leave the church and
also the town. These facts gained pub
licity here tonight and created great
sensation i'll society circles, as it had
not been previously known for GER
tainty that the couple had eloped. The
deserted wife of Kirkland is now at the
home of heTparents in the eastern part
OF New York state, and it is said that
she is in precariOuS- condition. Mr..
Chase was seen tonight and said he was
glad his wife was gone: that she was n
bad woman, and that he was through

Boston millionaire spectators caught

money have already been spent in pre-
liminary work, and they are now about

And Now the Chicago Papers Can
Let Up on Their Ridgely Testi-
nonial.
CHICAGO, May 9.-The bloody details
OF how Walter Ridgely, an Eastern col
lege graduate and wealthy planter, re-
siding near TeXarkana, Ark, had re-
Gently been obliged to slay, one after
another, all the members Of a family
of desperadoes named Murphy,
have been given much prom
1Tnnce in the newspapers. The
story came from Texas, and the feud
was said to have originated in Ridgely's
attempt to protect an inoffensive North
em drummer from imposition on the
part OF the Murphys. AS considerable
interest was manifested among the busi-
ness people, popular subscription was
started and this morning statement
was published showing that about LOCO
employees OF various commercial houses
here had contributed an average of %
cents apiece toward purchasing for
Ridgely some suitable token of the high
regard his action had entitled him to at
the hands OF the business community.
Ihls evening certain persons who have
held aloOf from the subscription went
to the trouble of sending kilograms of
inquiry about Ridgely to TeXarkana.
The result was a dispatch reading as
follows:
In regard to Walter Ridgely's killing half-a-
dozen men, the story is all canard There

NO FAST TRAINS.
Railroad Officials Cannot Afford
the Limited" Train Service.

G. B. BrunSOn, superintendent of
the union depot, reported to the cham
Der OF commerce yesterday morning
that six years ago the average tonnage
OF mail received and forwarded at st.
Paul per day was ten tons. The weigh
ina has just closed for the past
thirty days and shows the
average to be thirty-One tons.
A resolution was adopted to the effect
that the st. Paul chamber unite with the
Minneapolis board of trade in the pro-
posed celebration of the organization of
the Northwest territory on July 4, and
Messrs. Blakeley, Marshall and Drake
were appointed to consult with the COM
mittee appointed by the Minneapolis
board of trade. The committee on
transportation made report recon-
mending that the st. Paul chamber of

Ste. Marie canal convention tolbe held

As to fast trains between st. Paul and
Chicago, three replies from officials
were presented to the chamber. Mr..
DuPuy, of the Minnesota d Northwest
ern, states that the road is not finished
between Dubuque and Chicago, and the
Minnesota & Northwestern has to use
the IllinOiSe Central. and that that road
has expressed a diSinclinatiOn to join in
limited fast train. He says, therefore,
that he cannot do anything till his road
is completed. w. q. Mellen, of the Wis
consin Central, says the passenger busi-
ness of his road is not large enough to
warrant the increased train service
without large loss to the company.
He also expressed the opinion that the
other roads were in about the same fix.
Roswell Miller, general manager of the
Milwaukee d st. Paul, says the business
of the road will not justify fast trains,
and that lever since passes were dis
continued the earnings of our passen-
ger trains between Chicago and
ST. Paul per mile on considerably less
than they were last year, and this not
withstanding the fact that statistics
show that our percentage of the business
is as large as last year, which demon
strates that the volume is less than last
year." He therefore concludes that the
road cannot afford to put on fast trains,
but says the roads are considering the
matter of making the time east bound
the same as west bound, ON the train
leaving st. Paul in the afternoon, which
will be some advantage on the present
time. The report of the committee was
adopted.

wife left him, taking with her their only
child and went to live with her parents

Quently began an action for divorce

timony showed that the plaintiff had
frequently gone home drunk and had
treated his wife cruelty, on one occasion
having threatened her life. In view of
these facts, Judge Kelly refuses the
decree of divorce to the plaintiff and
grants the defendant decree of sepera-

X Reputation of Reports of the
Sale of Ball Clubs

PHILADELPHIA, May 9.-Lew Sim
mons, one of the proprietors of the Ath-
letic base ball club, to-day emphatically
denied the statements contained in an
article published here and in other cities
this morning, stating that the proprie-
tors were negotiating for the sale of the
club to a syndicate. The article. he
says, was a malicious lie from beginning
to end. AS to the statement that the
club was not making money, his one
third interest could not be bought for
less than $4,000, and neither of his
partners, Mason and Sharshig, had the
slightest intention of giving up the
ownership of what they considered
good paying property. Another story
which Mr.. Simmons wishes to
brand as untrue was one
which stated that a secret
conference was held in BROOKLYN at
which details were arranged for the
transfer Of the indianapolis club to the
American association and the Cincin-
natl club to the league, and the sale of
the Athletic and Metropolitan clubs.
At this meeting, the article stated. were
present EraStuS Wiman. Charles Byrne.
.juStuS Thorne, Lew Simmons and other
base ball officials. No such meeting.
Mr.. Simmons says, was ever held.
